L3 PROJECTS
LEVEL 3: PROMOTE!
A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF STLP
Congrats on making it to Level 3 Project judging, the Finalist round of STLP State.
Get ready for an entirely different experience with your project team. It's time to really display your enthusiasm for your project and your mastery of the subject; all in relation to the KAS Tech Standards, of course.
Here's some tips to get you prepped...
LEVEL 3: WHAT TO KNOW
Level 3 Judging is completely different from Levels 1 or 2
Level 3 Judging begins after Level 2 and there is no Judging Schedule
Judges will arrive at any time to discuss your project (presenters only) conversationally
Often, more than one group of Judges will stop by at different times
Sometimes, Judges will return later for clarifying questions, etc.
Judges are likely not interested in your practiced presentation, but prefer having an interactive conversation with your presenters
Judges will be looking for teams that can confidently and enthusiastically explain why their project should be selected to represent the best of education technology for the entire state of Kentucky.
Plan to remain at your project table until the announcement is made that Level 3 Judging has concluded.
ABOUT THE AWARDS
All Level 3 teams should remain for the STLP Awards Ceremony
Every Level 3 project team will be in consideration for Best in State Project
KET will be broadcasting the Award Show live on their channels. Call home and let them know, "I'm going to be on TV!"
All Level 3 project teams will be recognized on stage and will receive an award. The level of award will be announced live on stage.
You've worked so hard to get here... even though you might have a long drive back home, your students deserve to enjoy this experience!
To accept the honor of being named a Best in Kentucky Project Champion, your team must be present at the conclusion of the Award Show.
WHO ARE L3 JUDGES?
Kentucky leads the nation in education technology. Ed Tech leaders from across the state are hand selected and invited to help interview and select the top STLP Projects.
Level 3 Judges are the elite in their field. They understand that selecting the Best in Kentucky State Champion projects means they are selected the teams who will represent Kentucky on the international stage.
Level 3 Judges see their role as an honor and a privilege. Enjoy the opportunity to share your amazing project with these statewide leaders.
AFTER LEVEL 3 JUDGING
Every project team that advances to Level 3 will be recognized on stage in Rupp Arena and will receive an award. The level of that award will be announced live during the Challenge and Project Award Show (4pm in Rupp and broadcast live via KET KY Channel).
STLP State Champion Projects are invited to present their winning projects at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference (held this year in Denver, Co. in late June).
STLP State Champions teams will be awarded a stipend to be used for your team to attend the ISTE Conference to share represent your district, STLP Kentucky and the KY Department of Education to the world (Level 4).
